So this may be pretty specific, but any advice helps - Google led me
to a forum with the exact problem but the link in that forum to the
solution is dead... so here I am.

I'm using let's encrypt as the ssl cert for a few websites, one of
those websites domains is also the domain I'm using for an irc server.
So the specific ip address that my irc server has already has an ssl
cert behind it. I cannot figure out where or what in my ircd.conf file
I should be changing to tell the irc server that the cert exists. I'm
using the ircd-hybrid server with a debian distro, in case that
matters.

I'm trying to change these settings all in one go, so that the users
aren't repeatedly kicked when I restart the server to make the
changes. Ideally I can do it in one go. Any help is much appreciated.

I also am aware that I need port forward traffic to 6697, so that much
should be figured out already.

Check [this thread](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/ircd-hybrid-
ssl-setup-explanation/12651/8) out on letsencrypt.. this may be the
solution

Unfortunately this is the thread I had found that has the dead link.
The op of that forum apparently learned the issue from the link that
was posted, but when I try that link it leads to a 'not found' type of
page. I can try to use the context clues and the info that is given to
try something new and see what happens
